Taoiseach corrects Dáil record after admitting receiving Shatter letters

The Taoiseach has corrected the Dáil record and admitted he was in possession of letters between Alan Shatter and the Ceann Comhairle.

However, Enda Kenny has denied that his Fine Gael colleague had any role in shutting down a Dáil debate on alleged Garda malpractice last week.

Deputy Shatter and his lawyers wrote to both the Taoiseach and Ceann Comhairle last month trying to get Deputy Shatter's actions excluded from a Commission of Inquiry.

Enda Kenny has published those letters this afternoon and has corrected the Dáil record.
